Tunbridge Wells, Kent, United Kingdom Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys Full time

The highly successful, thriving and popular Science department is seeking a new Science Teacher to join us on a full-time permanent basis; we would like this position to start in September 2024.

The Science department runs smoothly and our students achieve well across Key stages 3 to 5. Our core purpose is to fully engage all our students and ignite their curiosity and determination so they can achieve their full potential. The Science department has eleven laboratories at the main Tunbridge Wells campus and six further laboratories at the Sevenoaks campus. All are fully equipped for high quality teaching and learning and one laboratory is specialised for teaching A Level Chemistry. The Science department is supported by a team of four technicians. At KS3 students follow an adapted and extended version of the Activate Science scheme and at GCSE we teach the AQA syllabus with all students studying separate Science GCSE's.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about the Science curriculum and how this can be taught in an inspiring way to maximise student engagement and success. They will be able to provide effective support to the Science department and steer areas of common interest across the department in order to enhance the quality of learning and achievement.

We welcome applications from creative and dynamic teachers who can contribute to this vision. The successful applicant will be someone who can inspire students. Applications are welcome from experienced teachers and ECTs at this popular and over-subscribed boys' grammar school with mixed sixth form.

Head of Year responsibilities

There is the potential for this role to hold a TLR for Pastoral Support (Head of Year).

For the right candidate, there is a potential TLR 2b for Head of Year which can be included with this (please see other job post for the role and responsibilities for this).

The purpose of the post is to monitor and support the academic progress of students in a defined year group of the school at the Sevenoaks site and to support their welfare and conduct, including promoting the highest levels of attendance and punctuality.

The Head of Year will also lead a team of tutors in implementing and maintaining a system of academic monitoring, as well as monitoring the behaviour of students in the year group, referring students to the Assistant Headteacher as appropriate.

Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys is an expanding and rapidly improving selective grammar school. It is undergoing a period of transformational change benefitting from a multi-million pound investment in Tunbridge Wells and a brand new building at our Sevenoaks campus, which opened in September 2021.

Staff will benefit from a positive working environment, with strong support for professional development and specialist teaching rooms. We aim for high standards and the pursuit of academic excellence, helping every student to reach their full potential through the development of skills, concepts and knowledge, within the framework of a caring community. Relationships between staff and students are based on trust, mutual respect and a determination to succeed.

Please note that we will only accept CV's if they are accompanied by an application form, which can be found on our website: We shall review applications as we receive them.

We shall review applications as we receive them and we reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role; therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS disclosure is required for this post. Applicants will be also be expected to complete appropriate training including safeguarding and Prevent and sign Staff and Governors' codes of conduct.
